- 1 pound Brussels sprouts Firm, vibrant green bulbs with a slight crunch.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil Rich and smooth, providing a perfect base for roasting.
- 2 tablespoons honey Golden and sticky, lending a sweet, caramel-like flavor.
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce Fiery and bold, infusing the dish with heat.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder Aromatic and savory, enhancing the overall flavor.
- to taste Salt and pepper Essential seasonings that elevate the taste.
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional) Bright and zesty, adding a layer of freshness.
- for garnish Fresh cilantro or green onions (optional) Vibrant and herbaceous, bringing a pop of color.
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, take the trimmed and halved Brussels sprouts and add in the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts into a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Roasting
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the Brussels sprouts for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- While the sprouts roast, whisk together the honey, Sriracha, and lemon juice (if using) in a small bowl.
- Once the Brussels sprouts are golden brown and crispy, drizzle the honey Sriracha sauce over them while they are still hot and toss gently.
Serving
- Transfer the roasted Brussels sprouts to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro or sliced green onions, if desired.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Ensure Brussels sprouts are evenly halved for uniform cooking and toss them halfway through roasting to avoid uneven browning. Adjust Sriracha to taste depending on heat preference.
